Since speaking with Gil at the '05 'birds, I've always run the diffs at a height that keeps the axles as level as possible. He explained the affect that "pin drag" has on bound/rebound of the suspension, and while I can't remember the details, the jist is that flat axles reduces the affect. Somebody good with offroad could explain it better.

Since the advent of the big diameter foam tires and running rubber indoors, I've always run the diffs as high as possible.
